Matthew Piasecki and his brother had both been competitive swimmers of Edmonton, Canada. His brother once own a provincial championship, while Matthew once “won” 2 years of jail time from drug trafficking. According to defense lawyer Rod Gregory, Piasecki started working out and injecting with steroids after he had gotten out of prison. His parents and his girlfriend then noticed sudden changes in his temper. He would have several explosive temper flares over irrational things and sometimes, even over nothing. Hot-headed and unreasonably angry, Piasecki shot a man in a trailer park. According to Provincial Court Judge Robert Philp, this is the danger of anabolic steroids and steroid use.

From Sun News Edmonton:

Court heard Piasecki had been looking to collect a $1,400 drug debt, and he and five buddies crashed a July 18 backyard party at the Maple Ridge mobile home park.

Piasecki was armed with a gun, and he ran up to various people at the party asking, “Where’s Dustin?”

When he approached Dustin Micallef, the man asked him “Dustin who?” and Piasecki responded by slamming him in the face with the butt end of the pistol grip.

Micallef fell to the ground, and his cousin, Ricky Micallef, ran over, helped him up and told Piasecki to take it easy.

Piasecki responded by hitting him in the eye with the butt end of the gun.

After someone said Dustin was not there, Piasecki called for another person to come out of the trailer.

Instead, Adam Sheen emerged and asked Piasecki what was going on. The gunman responded by shooting him in the right chest from about one meter away, court heard.

Fortunately, Sheen was rushed to the emergency room just in time. As for the 23-year old Piasecki, he will be serving his 6 years imprisonment for aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and possession of firearm.
